10/13/25:
A lot of reptiles continue to grow throughout their lives. Thus, this makes all sorts of biological sense and is not, in any way, also an excuse to use our Lego T-Rex figures. :)
Comments from the Tagboard:

BrickVoid: It was an observation.
10/14/25 05:39 PM
Swiftbow: Yes, you saw it. Possibly it should be slightly smaller than even that, but eh... I thought it'd be fun. Not sure why you're talking about evacuating anywhere, though?
10/13/25 06:42 PM
BrickVoid: So, did I get the bounty hunter's ship right or wrong? I can see that evacuating a planet full of elder dinosaurs would require a lot of large capacity cargo ships because of their sheer size! :D

Transcript
Panel 1:
Colonel Hank Reynolds: Flight control, customs control... how much red tape are we looking at after we land?
Panel 2:
Ezzok: Red tape?
Hank: Bureaucracy.
Ezzok: Oh that. A lot.
Rules enforced by pain of being eaten are the basis of our government.
As an expatriate seeking asylum, you should expect four or five hours of forms to sign. Then another couple with the elders.
Hank: Ah.
So... if we just pretended to crash in the jungle... think we could skip all that?
Ezzok: You don't want to crash in the jungle. There are beasts in there that make Gorn look like one of your housecats.
Panel 3:
Commander Vedrix: The Romulans have a consulate in the capital. So my status is rather less complex.
I may see you before I depart. But you have the data files of the Supreme Advisor's testimony.
So I assume you won't put up a fuss when I take him with me.
Hank: No, no, that's fine. Leave me to face the petty administrative dinosaurs all by myself.
Panel 4:
Ezzok: I won't leave you all by yourself if I can help it. But I'm not a refugee, so I can't guarantee they won't separate us.
Hank: I understand.
Ezzok: I have to warn you, too... most of those working in government offices are elders. Unsuited to offworld travel. Some of them are salty about it.
Hank: What, you don't let your old people go offworld? Do you have bad doctors?
Panel 5:
Ezzok: No, it's not that...
SFX: PSSHH
Panel 6:
Ezzok: It's just that, after a certain age... elders don't fit on spaceships anymore.
Greetings, sir. Are you our escort?
Gorn Elder: Commander Ezzok. Brought some primates home, did you? How droll.
